Enough already

Okay seriously Mother Nature has got to stop it. 15 cm last and 30 more on the way. I will shovel but I don't have any whereto put the snow. So last night I was shovelling when Joe got home when he left for class and hour later and continued -for a total an hour an 40 minutes. So by my calculation that was 15 cm so 30 cm should take me 3 hours and 20 minutes.

Oh and my shovel broke - that's right my shovel cracked about 30 minutes in. I fully believe that if your shovel breaks then there should be no more snow. So my poor little red shovel is no more. Note the crack down the centre now it works but just not well.

So I figure I should get new shovel since there a storm acomin'.

So I stop off at the Super Centre which is where I got my little red shovel two years ago. So I get there and find someone eventually. I find that the bigger the store the harder it is to find someone to help you. So.... I ask the guy and he laughs (not the time buddy, not the time) and he says "we don't have shovels" and I say "you used to have shovels right?" and he says "Yeh but that was the begining of winter. You should try Canadian Tire."

So I head to Canadian Tire. Now I can't find show shovels so I find someone.... eventually. So I say "do you have snow shovels?" and he says "we got 4 dozen in but I think that they are all gone." So he calls someone and I wait about 10 minutes and someone calls back and yep you guessed it no shovels. So by my calculation in the last few days 48 people came in and bought shovels. So he says "you should go to Rona." So I say "Could you call Rona to see if they have shovels so I don't waste a trip?" So the CT guy hands me a phonebook and WALKS AWAY. So I look up Rona and try to call with the phone on the desk but it's just for paging people. So I grab my cell phone and call and Rona has shovels.

So I head to Rona and spend $23.72 for something I did not want to do something I don't want to do. Here is my pretty new blue shovel.

And here they are side by side - my old red shovel and my new blue shovel. It's not as wide but I suppose it works just as well.

I guess I'll find sooner than later.
